Enforcement and possible unauthorised development PDF 137 KB

To consider the Executive Head of Property and Growth’s Report No. PG2512 (copy attached) which reports on cases of planning enforcement and possible unauthorised development.

Minutes:

Enforcement Reference No.

Description of Breach

24/00064/OUTBDG

Pergola erected in rear garden at No. 27 Chetwode Place, Aldershot.

A complaint was received that a pergola had been erected in the rear garden of the property, which was 2.6 metres high and within 2 metres of the boundary with the complainant. The owner was contacted but an application was not forthcoming. Due to the pergola being only 100mm above the permitted development limit, it was considered that, had an application been submitted, it would have been granted permission as there was no material adverse planning impact arising in respect of any neighbour. The recommendation was that no further action be taken.

During discussion, Members asked for a list of the grounds of appeal against a Planning Enforcement Notice, for clarity.
